Tumor microenvironment (TME) is the internal environment in which tumor cells survive, consisting of tumor cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and immune cells, as well as non-cellular components, such as exosomes and cytokines. Exosomes are tiny extracellular vesicles (40-160nm) containing active substances, such as proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. Exosomes carry biologically active miRNAs to shuttle between tumor cells and TME, thereby affecting tumor development. Tumor-derived exosomal miRNAs induce matrix reprogramming in TME, creating a microenvironment that is conducive to tumor growth, metastasis, immune escape and chemotherapy resistance. In this review, we updated the role of exosomal miRNAs in the process of TME reshaping.
肿瘤微环境（TME）是肿瘤细胞赖以生存的内部环境，由肿瘤细胞、成纤维细胞、内皮细胞和免疫细胞以及非细胞成分（如外泌体和细胞因子）组成。外泌体是含有活性物质（如蛋白质、脂质和核酸）的微小细胞外囊泡（40-160nm）。外泌体携带生物活性 miRNA 在肿瘤细胞和 TME 之间穿梭，从而影响肿瘤的发展。肿瘤来源的外泌体 miRNA 诱导 TME 中的基质重编程，创造有利于肿瘤生长、转移、免疫逃逸和化疗耐药的微环境。在这篇综述中，我们更新了外泌体 miRNA 在重塑 TME 过程中的作用。
